If a user completes an interaction but I don't add a trigger to "Submit Results", does Storyline still know to send a signal to the LMS that the interaction has been completed?
Here's the scenario:
1. User completes interaction and it's tied to results slide (results are never displayed or submitted thru trigger)
2. When publishing, I choose that particular results slide to determine completion
My main problem is that I don't want to show the results slide but I want the user to get credit based on that results slide. How can I achieve that?
Hopefully, I was clear. I want to have an interaction that is tied to a results slide but never display that slide AND have it reported correctly to the LMS. What's the best way to report it to the LMS without showing the blank results slide to end-user? Thx! =)
Course completion is communicated the LMS by meeting the completion requirements you've designed, which in this scenario is when they reach the results slide. You could use a similar method as described here to mask the Results slide, but the interaction will need to be submitted (you don't need to use the built in submit button - you could trigger it with anything) and to submit the results on that slide.
but is it possible to report the results of your results slide without showing it to the end-user? Seems like if the data is there, the presentation to the end-user shouldn't matter.
Yes, as Phil mentioned, there needs to be some action that passes the results slide information on to your LMS but you don't need to show it to the user. You'll just want to make sure that the trigger to submit results is before the trigger that jumps to the next slide, but I'd set them both to fire when the timeline starts.
I'm concerned that if I set the "submit interaction" when the timeline starts AND "submit results" when the timeline starts on the same slide that they might not work, even if I put the "submit results" trigger after "submit interaction"; like the data didn't have a chance to be processed before submitting results. Any thoughts?
I'd do what Phil is suggesting. Just design your results slide to look like a standard one. Set the state of the results variable to hidden and it should work.
Since we're talking about quiz results, I also wanted to know if it's possible to round a quiz score to a certain percentage. I'm noticing the score is reporting as "42.55%"...I'd like to round that up or down and have a prettier number to work with. Is that possible?
This discussion is now 3 years old, but I'm trying to find out if rounding of numbers has been added as a feature. I am using Storyline 3. Can I round up or down a number like 42.55%?
Thanks for reaching out - there isn't a change yet in the variables rounding, but we'd love to hear more about what you'd need and how this would impact your development in this Feature request here.

Hi Jason,

You probably need to pass through the results slide to set the score, but you could hide it as a normal slide or jump to it and straight off it.

I have never tried that, I often insert a blank results slide and build it to look like a standard slide

No you cannot round up or down
